Brake problem.

[crash712us]

Good question, I am not sure there is many option out there I am extreme happy with my EBC brakes set up. All though my front pads are about done with about 20k on them. But the rotors are still prefect.

Im thinking:
Front Rotors EBC USR7510 $232
Rear Rotors EBC Brakes USR7280 $155

Front Pads EBC-DP41767R $101
Rear Pads EBC Brakes DP41825R $90

That whole setup would be about $600

Thats a dam good deal! In wish I had bought my replacement pads from here would have save $20.

Im just not in the mood to be spending another $600 on the brakes on this car. Thats almost the Meth kit I was getting ready to buy, or the exhaust for the new motorcycle

Yeah... Brakes are kinda a must have.

 

[Kolk1]

Yup. A little more important when it's your daily driver. I have put like 25,000 miles on it in the last year. It's been perfect beside the brakes.

I am not sure what model year we are talking about here but don't forget the TSB for the 2010s that called for new caliper brackets.  I realize you have changed the pads and rotors but the caliper brackets that are part of that TSB hold the pads in a better position relative to the rotors.

I had brake grinding and crunching on my 2010 and the dealer first just replaced the pads.  The problem returned within a few thousand miles.  Once the TSB was applied with the revised caliper brackets, all was well and I have had no further problems.  The brake "feel" is much improved, too.  I am not sure exactly when the revised brackets were made standard - 2011 or 2012.

Mines a 2011. Not sure if the TSB still applies.

It does apply to 2011's as well. Had it done on mine. But that only fixed problem for a few thousand miles.
Hasn't been a issue since replacing factory pads and rotors.

Im rounding about 60k miles on my car now, and I bought it last year with 35k, so besides the one caliper issue I had originally about 5 months ago, even then I never had this weird growling sound. But its very random, I don't remember hearing it at all this morning. But like I said, its only about every 2-3 times out of 10 it makes the noise, but it sounds horrible.

I still plan on taking it all apart tomorrow, see if there is anything obvious. As of now im just preparing to buy that list of parts I posted a little bit ago when I get paid again.

Im starting to feel I wont ever get around to doing Meth on this car because I have about 10 other things that need to be done first. I might as well sell my MyCal tuner and just keep the SCT on the car like it is now.

I gave my SCT away and kept the MyCal.  Aren't you running 4+?  (Don't know what year you have.)

2011-Im running 4 right now, back in the day I thought it was 4+ then turns out you need a MyCal for 4+. I wouldn't mind doing the 4+ but id still have to spend the $250 on the tune files, but I guess Id get most of that back when I sold the SCT for around $200.

 

[DJE624]

Yeah, there was an old 4+.  The new 4+ accesses more tables with the MyCal.  You should be able to sell the SCT to anybody going with Unleashed.  Good Luck!
